Re: which brake pads and rotors to get?

Lots of brake threads here and many of us have gone with Frozen Rotors and Hawk LTS pads.

Re: which brake pads and rotors to get?

The only way I would use OEM pads is if Nissan gave me a set for free. Then I would use them for paperweights on my desk.

I have been using Raybestos for close to 30 years and never had a problem, I used the Raybestos Advanced Technology pads on the T and night and day diff from stock. (And I still have OEM rotors.)

So you prefer aftermarket pads and oem rotors? I was planning on going with EBC

Re: which brake pads and rotors to get?

From my reading when I was looking at pads and rotors a while ago it seemed most who bought premium products were happy with their choices.

My take is that the Hawk are probably the most recommended pads here and by the vendors I spoke to.

I bought DNA rotors but Frozen are well spoken of, too.

For what a stealership will charge you can get better quality for similar money.

I like my DBA slotted rotors with OEM pads.

Re: which brake pads and rotors to get?

I love my Hawk Rotors and Pads. Best setup I have used and ive tried frozen rotors, powerstop, powerslot, ebc etc.

If you can swing it, go for the Hawk SD - probably like the best pad for your style of driving.

I just put on Frozen Rotors (slotted) and hawk LTS pads today. I haven't broken them in yet though. I will be doing this Saturday morning.
